EXPLORATION UPDATE - PATCH NOTES
WARP DRIVE CHANGES
New Warp tiers - there are now 5 warp tiers available: Emergency Warp (Warp E), Warp 1, 2, 3 and 4. Faster warp is unlocked by using a higher tier Singularity Cell Detonator.
Emergency Warp - extremely slow warp that requires a lot of power and does not consume Warp Cells. It cannot be used to tow any additional modules.
Base Warp Cell Consumption - all standard warp tiers now have a base Warp Cell consumption in addition to regular consumption. This makes faster warps less fuel efficient when moving across short distances.
Mass Based consumption - regular warp cell consumption is now affected by the combined mass of modules you are attempting to move.
Mass based towing - number of modules you can take with you into warp is now based on their mass. Maximum towing capacity is directly affected by your ship’s mass amplified by the installed SCD. Emergency Warp cannot tow any additional modules.
New Warp Cell tiers - Warp Cells are now available in 4 tiers of increasing capacity.
SCANNING MECHANIC
Players can now use NavMap to scan for distant objects using the new Scanning Interface. Scan results depend on the radar’s sensitivity, amplified by the installed Radar Signal Amplifier, distance to object and object’s signature value. Scan results are further affected by debris fields, proximity to the star and planetary modifiers. Object’s signature depends on the number of docked modules and online systems.
Passive Radar - automatically tracks nearby objects and warp signatures in a 360 radius around your ship.
Active Radar - used to actively search for new contacts on the NavMap
New Navmap icons:
Green outline - known object, currently within ship’s passive radar range
Orange outline - known object, currently beyond ship’s passive radar range
White brackets - new contact
Purple sphere - unknown contact, scan sensitivity too low to provide accurate info
Blue sphere - warp signature
Green cone - local warp signature direction
